SARS-CoV-2 Testing Service Preferences of Adults in the United States: Discrete Choice Experiment.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Ascertaining preferences for SARS-CoV-2 testing and incorporating findings into the design and implementation of strategies for delivering testing services may enhance testing uptake and engagement, a prerequisite to reducing onward transmission.

Objective

This study aims to determine important drivers of decisions to obtain a SARS-CoV-2 test in the context of increasing community transmission.
